1
tbs coconut oil -
2

- The spread can be stored for up to 2-3 weeks in the fridge and also freezes well.
notes
- This recipe was created by Mandy Sacher, Wholesome Child.
- You can also replace the tahini with other school-friendly seeds such as pumpkin and sunflower seeds.
- If your school allows nuts, then you can use ground roasted hazelnuts for a delicious nutty choc spread.
- If your children are used to sweet chocolate spreads you can increase the sweetness by adding more maple syrup and over time reduce the amount of sweetness used.
- Substitute maple syrup or rice syrup for honey if desired.
